James Gunn has been dropping hints on social media that a new trailer for Superman isn't too far away, and we now have confirmation that it will be released this Wednesday!

A billboard for the DCU reboot spotted in New York's Time Square, revealing the trailer date along with a new teaser featuring some brief footage of David Corenswet's Man of Steel taking flight.

In response to a fan on Threads who asked when we'll see "trailer 2.5," Gunn said: "You haven't even seen 1.0 yet - only a teaser and a sneak peek. I can't wait to show you guys the full trailer!"

Check out some video clips featuring the billboard teasers at the links below.

Superman also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabel Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.

Sara Sampaio is on board as Lex's assistant/lover Eve Teschmacher, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell will play "Ma" and "Pa" Kent, and Milly Alcock's Supergirl has been confirmed to make her debut ahead of her own Woman of Tomorrow movie.

"And that’s a wrap," Gunn posted earlier this year when filming concluded. "God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set - and for that I am forever grateful."

You can check out an updated synopsis for the movie below.

"In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind."

That’s a pretty cool way to reveal the date…

Excited to see the new trailer Wednesday!!.

MrRossBot - 5/12/2025, 8:20 AM

Noice! I sincerely hope this film is successful. Superman was the first superhero and comic book film I was exposed to as a wee lad. Jump started my love and appreciation for the medium. Something tells me this film will be that for a new generation.

vectorsigma - 5/12/2025, 8:42 AM

@MrRossBot - amen. This will not didappoint

TheVisionary25 - 5/12/2025, 8:54 AM

@MrRossBot - same

That and Batman 1989 really started my love for the genre.

dragon316 - 5/12/2025, 10:16 AM

@MrRossBot - people decide fate of films not reviews wait and find out

dragon316 - 5/12/2025, 10:17 AM

@MrRossBot - more excited see this over fantastic four

JurassicClunge - 5/12/2025, 8:23 AM

Brace yourselves!

WB about to 0-100 with all the marketing 😮‍💨

bobevanz - 5/12/2025, 8:34 AM

@JurassicClunge - yes.. that's how marketing works lol

vectorsigma - 5/12/2025, 8:44 AM

@JurassicClunge - ah yes. Because we have been seeing desperate Marvel as of late needing to market Doomsday as early as now so this looks new

JurassicClunge - 5/12/2025, 8:46 AM

@bobevanz - no, most studios don't wait until 1 and a half months out to release the first proper trailer 🤡😮‍💨

Irregular - 5/12/2025, 8:46 AM

@JurassicClunge - ....no shit.....the movie is two months away..........

JurassicClunge - 5/12/2025, 8:51 AM

@vectorsigma - man you need to get over your hate for marvel 😂😂😂

JurassicClunge - 5/12/2025, 8:54 AM

@Irregular - well duhh, they waited long enough lol 😆

Irregular - 5/12/2025, 8:58 AM

@JurassicClunge - I know your attention span is small but there was a seven minute preview released last month.

JurassicClunge - 5/12/2025, 9:10 AM

@Irregular - i know your reading comprehension is shite but are you referring to the 7 minute preview that Gunn himself considered not to be a proper trailer? 👀

Irregular - 5/12/2025, 9:16 AM

@JurassicClunge - Yes because it technically is not a proper trailer, it's an extended first look.

They did this with TDK when I Am Legend came out when they revealed a prologue along with a collection of scenes. And this was right before a teaser trailer was released. It's called "marketing"

JurassicClunge - 5/12/2025, 9:32 AM

@Irregular -

1st trailer for the TDK was July 2007

14th December 2007 The dark knight preview (before I am legend)

The movie came out 2008 👀

Superman has literally waited only a few months before the release of the film to show a 6 min preview and now trailer 1 only 1.5 months before the movie comes out.

I know you're reading comprehension is lacking but they have waited pretty late to market this movie hence my 0-100 comment 😅😅

Irregular - 5/12/2025, 9:44 AM

@JurassicClunge - You mean this teaser that absolutely shows you nothing?
?si=wCUDCkiOyZ-9CqP7

Let's talk about this trailer that released JANUARY 2008, literally showing official footage after the TDK preview.
?si=OzKoZEhuP1q08zib

You literally just shot yourself in the foot trying to prove me wrong. Trailer one for Superman released in December of last year. I know you lack common sense and knowledge because of your small attention span, but you can save face by saying "you just don't want to see the movie" instead of bashing normal marketing tactics.

vectorsigma - 5/12/2025, 9:45 AM

@JurassicClunge - the day id hate it is when i wont watch day 1 anymore.

Consider it a stakeholder's opinion 😂

dracula - 5/12/2025, 10:01 AM

@JurassicClunge - barbie’s first actual trailer was released 2months before its release

dragon316 - 5/12/2025, 10:18 AM

@JurassicClunge - dragonball super had zero 0 marketing it became number 1 movie in theater box office

JurassicClunge - 5/12/2025, 10:19 AM

@Irregular -

Take a read a put those poor reading comprehension skills to the test 👀https://comicbook.com/dc/news/the-dark-knight-trailer-released-ten-years-ago-today/

That article was written 10 years to the day the first theatrical TDK trailer was released and describes that Both batman and joker were in it meaning it wasnt the teaser 😅

Let me guess you used that IGN article didn't you?

Those dates are wrong and all you've done is prove your reading comprehension skills are terrible 😅😅😮‍💨

JurassicClunge - 5/12/2025, 10:20 AM

@vectorsigma - 😅😅😅 lmao!

JurassicClunge - 5/12/2025, 10:22 AM

@dracula - that's barbie, we're talking the cinematic reboot of superman here!

But still WB live on the damn edge with their marketing at times 😮‍💨

bobevanz - 5/12/2025, 8:35 AM

Help is on the way!

UnderBelly - 5/12/2025, 8:37 AM

That's a pretty cool tease.

I hope it's a success. I like the tone it's going for. Cape is dope, suit is still ass though.

0bstreperous - 5/12/2025, 8:41 AM

This movie is looking disappointing to me with Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner in Peacemaker season two ( a crap show) I don't have hope for the movie

MotherGooseUPus - 5/12/2025, 8:41 AM

i want to believe this can be a great movie, but im still hesitant.

vectorsigma - 5/12/2025, 8:47 AM

In a sense, this complements the depression tone of Thunderbolts. Time for the audience to get some much needed hope and feel good of a cbm.

Gunn will nail this, i have no doubt.

ObserverIO - 5/12/2025, 9:02 AM

@vectorsigma - Val really hammered the nail in with her philosophy about how there are no real heroes and everybody's an asshole, so it'll be nice to see a movie about a guy who just genuinely wants to do good and to help people.

And really Val's out of line but she's right. So in this world of assholes that one good man is truly a Superman.

They coulda called the movie

Superman*
*Not An Asshole.

vectorsigma - 5/12/2025, 9:48 AM

@ObserverIO - i like that take on val and the cynicism imparted there

"Superman*
*Not An Asshole."

If Gunn didnt need to appease his bosses and the GA, he wouldve used this!

Radders - 5/12/2025, 8:48 AM

As soon as Gunn said he was writing and directing the new superman movie my alarm bells were ringing, and nothing since has quietened them, but I still hope its good.

SuperCat - 5/12/2025, 8:50 AM

Linux1172 - 5/12/2025, 8:50 AM

I'm starting to feel like at some point they will just release so much in the format of trailers that there won't be any point to actually buying a ticket.

MakeAmericaGrea - 5/12/2025, 9:59 AM

@Linux1172 -

It's already happened.

Like with Fantastic Bore: Last Steps.

They've released so much footage of Reed, Johnny, Thing, and Silver - I can't say it, it's not true - in name only, there's no point in actually buying a ticket.

They could have made thousands or millions more if they had kept Shalla a secret.

ClintthaManster - 5/12/2025, 10:02 AM

@MakeAmericaGrea - "They've released so much footage . . . there's no point in actually buying a ticket."

No way to know this. Just pulling it out of the air.

"They could have made thousands or millions more if they had kept Shalla a secret."

Maybe they don't care about losing the misogynistic reactionary demographic? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

MakeAmericaGrea - 5/12/2025, 10:09 AM

@ClintthaManster -

If Disney lost money because they made Blade a White woman, would it be because of misogyny?

MakeAmericaGrea - 5/12/2025, 10:12 AM

@ClintthaManster -

"No way to know this. Just pulling it out of the air."

You're wrong.

There really is no point in actually buying a ticket for this F4 bastardization fan film Marxist slop when it will be free on TV soon enough.

MakeAmericaGrea - 5/12/2025, 10:15 AM

@ClintthaManster -

"the misogynistic reactionary demographic?"

Is that anything like the misandrist reactionary demographic?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Reeds2Much - 5/12/2025, 9:31 AM

Bad timing. Wednesday is the day all us comic gremlins venture from our dark caves and high speed internets into the human realm to pick up our pull lists. That's going to hurt the view count by like ... dozens.
